SINTER has come and gone and the changing seasons since our last issue ha\'e naturally made the occupations of members ot the school \'ar. W'hen we last published, the chief topis o inlttrst to us were the comining Sydnev Junior Examination. andi th,, intball season, which was just commencing now we ha\v' 'rIllftI on till the Sy\dnevy Senior is no! far distant and it will be only I !n~ltter of a month or so, before the cricket season wbegins. T'he last term has tbeen a hbusy and a successful one for the whole "ho d,,.both as regards the school work and athletics. IJn the Sydlney Junior Examination, although we did not gain t'ithelI the Junior Prize or the Hyrnes Medtal, the dlisal)pointmlent \\WdI ,,pensatei( for in some egrete by a rtcor( nitlibr of call-

so. The last cricket season closed before the Easter holida\ys s) far as the school was concerned, and consequently the first ttaml was compelled to forfeit three or four matches, and so did not come anywhere near to winning the premiership. The reason for the change of games was that the cricket season encroached upon thle Football, and it was thought that as the eleven had no chance oi winning its premiership, it would be more profitable for thim ,to start practice for the football season. The game has been taken up with even more than usual enthusiasm and the School team has so far proved invincible, winning all their grade match, besides defeating Maryborough and Ipswich Grammar School( and Gatton College. The second and third teams have not been so fortunate. Tennis has been more than usually popular during tit' la't few months, and at present the courts are always occupied out 01 school hours. The team, like their footballing brothers, ar, a yet unconquered and are almost certain of their grade premirship. The revival of the Junior Championship in the Interstate ToIurna- ments seems to have awakened fresh interest in the game, s, that a large number of boys have entered for that event. The cadets seem to be more popular than ever, and as a natural consequence shooting has gone ahead. The entry of two t''am' in the Lyster Match (one from A company and one from B), lhoiul'l prove beneficial to the school and improve the already ex'll'nt standard reached by our shooting team. We hear that a combined football team from the Sydney l'u'hli1 Schools is about to visit Brisbane at the end of the month. T'h visit will be a notable event in the history of the Brisbane S hliools. as it will be the first step towards bringing about a much ,'loser connection with them than we have at present; an end wlhiIh it is most desirable to attain, as it will be beneficial to us both lrt)ll an athletic point of view and otherwise. We are publishing in this issue photographs of the first tnt alll and tennis teams, and also of the officers of the cadets ai:I1 tlr successful candidates in the Sydney Junior Examination, f(o whi"h we have to thank C. C. Corrie.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL v. NUDGEE COLLEGE. The football season opened by,our team playing a sc atch match against Nudgee College on the'School Turf. It being the first match of the season both teams were somewhat loose in their play, but our teim showed the better combination. As a result the game concluded in a win for us by 38 points to nil. The follo\w. ing scored tries:--J. M. Brown (3), R. Bridgman (3), C. W'illcock (2', A. Murray, L. G. Brown, E. Wilson, S. Schooley, each I. The kicking was very poor, one try only being converted, viz., by \VWalsh. ScHoor v. NUDGEE COLLEGE. The fist roun4 of fixtures commenced by our team again playing Nudgee College, but this time at Nudgee. We again *defeated them. D. Corrie scored the first try and converted it. A mark was moon after taken by one of our side near our opponents' goal post, and Corrie. again succeeded in kicking the ball over the bar. In the second half, the Nudgee three-quarters got going .and after a fine ran one of them succeeded in securing a try. It was, however, not converted. Schooley, who was playing five- .eighth for us, then reversed the table and running from half-way planted the ball-between the Nudgee goal posts. Walsh, our haf- back, converted this. The whistle soon after blew, leaving us winners byr. 3 points to 3. SCHOOL v. BALMORALS. This match was played on the turf and resulted in a win for us by 2o points to 9. The Balmorals, however, chiefly owing to our *carelessness, scored nine points before we scored any. But towarns half time our team got together and the forwards brought t he ball up to our opponents 25, where Forbes securing the ball made a run, *dodged and scored between the posts. Walsh converted. In the second half our condition began to tell on the Balmorals, and press- ing them hard, Corrie and L. G. Brown managed to score twice *each. None of these tries were converted. The forwards durine the second half all worked hard and Schooley did justice to his position as full-back. ScHOOL v. ST. GEORGE GORDONS. We played this match at New Farm, and after a very t1icndly game, succeeded in winning by n points to nil. Corrie scortl first, .after makipg a fine run from half-way and warding off several -opponents in grand style. The try was not convertd. Soen after this Murray scored, the try being again unconverted.' Befoc hali- time Scott, one of our best forwards, was obliged to leave tih field with a sprained ankle and the game was finished with fourt, men'i on our side. Brisbane Grammar School Magazsne. I.

In the second half Bridgman scored between the posts and I.. G. prown converted. Our opponents pressed us hard and once or twice came very near scoring, but were luckily prevented in time. SCHOOL v. ALHAMBRA. Played on the school turf and resulted in a win for the School' by 17 points to nil. SCHOOL v. SOUTH BRISBANE. This match was without doubt the hardest and best game we have as yet played, for we had to play a team which had the reputa- tion of being invincible. The match was played at New Farm, and resulted in our winning by 17. points to nil. We entered the field with the determination to win and accordingly everyone was on his mettle. The play for same time was chiefly confined to the forwards, during which there was not much advantage gained on either side. Towards the close of the first half Kiernan got away and scored a neat try. In the second half Forbes kicked a goal from a mark. Soon after Kiernan again got away and succeeded in scoring. The South Brisbaneites were now becoming a little disheartened but encouraged by their captain they still maintained a good fight for some time until Corrie scored a fine try. The try was not converted. After some good work on the part of the for- wards, the ball was forced up to the Souths' 25, where Wilson se- cured and made a run for the line but was collared. L. G. Brown, however, pick up the ball and fell over. Newell converted this try with a beautiful kick. In this match our three-quarter line was somewhat weakened by the absence of Bridgman, who left the School at Midwinter ; our forwards, however, made up for this loss by playing a very determined game. VALLEY v. B.G. SCHOOL. This match was contested on the Toowong Sports Ground and resulted in a win for the B.G.S. by 9 points to 6. B.G.S. won the toss and kicked with the sun at their backs for the first half. A Valley started the ball in motion and it was returened by Schooley out of bounce. From the throw-in Gram- mars got the ball at toe and started a dribbling rush, which being picked from the ruck by a Valley, was put out at half way. After several good passing rushes by the Grammars and twice nearly over. The Grammar backs set the ball in motion once more and this time after dodging the wing three-quarter and full-back of the Valley Corrie scored a try between the posts. L. G. Brown failed to add the extra points. \alleys rallied and the game was hot and fast, up and down the field, until an attempt by Newell to find the '"lin« " fell short. Shields, of Valley, secured and scored a good try. Maclaren failed to adl I the extra points. Shortly after this the whistle sounded for h; if-time. i4 Brisbane Gramemr School Magasine. On resuming play both teams played a hard bustling gamln, L. G. Brown, E. E. Wilson, and C. Willcocks showing out in the vanguard. An attempt by Corrie to cross the line failed and he was grassed, but not before he had set the ball down the wing, where Kielnan secured from a good pass and scored a good try. Forbes failed to add the extra points. From the 25's Grammar returned out of bounce and from the ruck Walsh set the ball in motion, but ineffectually, as the player who received it did not go far before he was collared. After some good passing Forbes scored a good try in the corner. Newell failed to convert it. Grammar 9, Valley 3. Valley never lost heart and from the ruck Baker scored a try, which remained unconverted. Shortly after this, the whistle sounded for full time, leavin the Grammar School victors by 9 points to 6. This is one of the hardest games the School has contested and won. Every player on the field played hard and the School team deserved their win. Mr. Evans refereed. GATToN COLLEGE v. B.G. SCHOOL. This match was played on No. I Union Grund, by the kind permission of the Q.R. Union. The day was hardly perfect and in the beginning of the match it rained fairly hard. Mr. Spring um- pired. B.G.S won by 48 to nil. The Gatton Boys, although beaten, in all points of the game, never from start to finish lost heart in the game, but played in a sportsmanlike fashion throughout. After the match Mr. Bousfield very kindly invited both t.anis to dine with him up at the School, where many speeches \\ere delivered. INTER-SCHOO)L FOOTBALL. BG.S. v. IPswicH GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Since it was Ipswich's turn to visit us, the match was playtl ,on *our turf and resulted in a win for us by 29 points to nil in tlh hirst half. As it was clearly seen that Ipsiwch had no hope, the two tiVams were combined, the Ipswich forwards and our backs against IP-w'ichI backs and our forwards. .The former team proved success l at full time. Due praise must be given to the Ipswich boys for their 1iuck, which they showed in the game, since their team was aboul halt the weight of ours, and also for playing in a match in which the\ were at such a great disadvantage. Mr. Flint, headmaster % Ipswich Grammar School, a ,.on-l panied his boys on their visit. Brisbane Grammar School Magazinc. 15

SCHOOL v. MARYBOROUGH GRAMMAR. This match has always been considered by us as the chief match ot the season and for which we always have to train hard. It being our turn to visit Maryborough, we left Brisbane accompanied by Mr. Roe on the Wednesday morning before the Midwinter holidays, arriving there in the afternoon. We were welcomed at the station by Mr. Thomson, the headmaster of the Maryborough Grammar School, and a number of his boys. That same afternoon we had a small practice, chiefly in order to knock some of the stiffness out of us after our rather tedious railway journey. On the following day !Thursday) before the match both teams were photographed together. The match commenced at 3.15 p m. on the school ground, and our team at once pressed hard on our opponents. It was not long before a ma"k was taken, which Corrie neatly and successfully kicked. Corrie soon after this scored and D. Forbes converted the try with a beautiful kick, thus making the score 8 points to nil. After this our three-quarters secured the ball and after some good passing, in which they showed fine combination, Schooley succeeded in getting over the linc. The try, however, was unconverted. The Maryborough forwards now brought the ball dangerously near our line and almost scored, but a chance kick sent the ball out of bounds. Soon after th? whistle blew for half time. On resuming, Mlaryborough assisted a little by the slope of the ground and pressed us hard, and several times their three-quarters got a good passing rush on but were luckily stopped in good time. Fegan, our full-back, assisted us greatly in many a critical moment. Our three-quarters I again showed up in some fine passing rushes, and R. Bridgman succeeded on three consecutive occasions in getting over. All these tries, however, were unconverted. The whistle blew for time soon after the first try was scored by Bridgman, making us the winners by twenty points to nil. Both teams were almost equal in weight, ours having a slight advantage. We had gone to Maryborough with the determination to win, and were overjoyed with our success when it came, the more so because this is the first occasion on which a Brisbane team has beaten a Mlaryborough one upon its own ground. We left for home on the Friday following the match after spend- ing a very enjoyable holiday, for which we have to heartily thank M~I.and Mrs. Thomson. SCHOOL v. OXFORD GORDONS. Played on the school turf and resulted in a win for us by 35 points to nil.

ri I : H-isjne Girmwmur Schnol MAotasw. Crtiesws o/ Mt ewM. Fegan.-Quite a find to the team. Very safe, kicks and tackles well. Rather slack in attending practice. D. Corrie.-Best back in the team. Has filled his position as wing three quarter beyond all expectation, running strongly and tackling well Sometimes gives away opportunities by trying to beat too many men. Schooley.-A new, but most successful addition to the team. Finds his line well Should keep more in touch with his wing. Newell.-Kicks well and is a fair tackler. Should remember to run straight and make his men tackle before passing. Forbes.-Although one of last year's forwards is a great acquisition to the backs. Gets going quickly, tackles and kicks well. Walsh -Our sturdy half-back. Perhaps the most experienced man in the team. Knows what to do and does it. Fine man for stopping a forward rush. Finds his line and tackles well. Kiernan.-Plays a good game at five-eighth, getting ball away quickly to the backs. Should however remember to kick a great deal more when his side is on the defensive. C Willcocks.-Although his first year in a Rugby team, he has nevertheless quickly mastered the game. He is a good for- ward, keeping the ball well at his toe. A. Murray.-A serviceable man in front row of serum. A good for- ward, playing a hard game all through. Another slack man in turning"up to practice. J. M. Brown.--Greatly improved on last year's form. Always on the ball. Should practice punting. Is improving in his tack- ling. Clatworthy.-A much better forward than back. Another man who is always on the ball. Fairly fast. Mackenzie.-A good all-round forward, with, however, one grat fault, viz., of losing his head a little and passing when on the defensive. E. Wilscn.-Most improved forward. Good man on line out. Runs strongly and is a hard man to tackle. Not too good at taking a ball. Wallace.-The best " bustler" in the team. Tackles very well, but wants practice at taking the ball. L. G. Brown.-(By a member of the team). Our popular capt ,in and undoubtedly our best forward. Very good in short rusics when his side is attacking, using his weight to great advantage. Splendid on the line out, but a little inclined to throw the lull back to his backs too much when on the defensive. Has prov d a most efficient captain, a good deal of the team's success be ng due to his untiring efforts to bring the members down to pr. tice and to keep their enthusiasm at the highest pitch.

By J.S.W. During the present season Tennis generally has shown a marked improvement and a large number of boys are taking a keen interest in the game. The 4 courts are usually occupied after school hours, while before school commences and during lunch hour there is generally a game in progress. This augurs well for the future. The Annual School Tournament will soon be commenced, when we hope to receive a record number of entries. The Tennis Team intend this year to make a bold bid for the C Grade Premiership. They have not yet been defeated in the Q.L.T.A. fixtures while the second team in the competition (Carlton C I.) has suffered defeat twice. The team is the only one in the Association fixtures which can show an unbeaten record. The following comprise the team: J. Chandler. C. A. Powell, R. Shirley, and J. S. Wood (Captain). J. S. Wood is the only remaining member of last year's team. H. Denham has played in two matches when he acquitted himself very creditably. We are entering some boys for the Junior Cham- pionship and the B and C Grade Doubles at the coming Interstate Tournament, and we hope they will be successful in upholding the reputation of the School. It was rather disappointing to lose the most important match of the year, viz., v. Ipswich Grammar School. The Ipswich team arrived about 9 o'clock on Saturday. They were accompanied by Mr. Flint. their head master. After a verv stubborn game the local boys were beaten by 6 games. Mr. T. E. Jones and W. H. H. Wilson kindly acted as umpires. Scores : Shirley and Wood (B) v. A. Mellor and Walke, 6-2, 6-3, v. B. Mellor and Flint, 3-6, 4-6 Chandler and Powell (B) v. B. Mellor and Flint, -.f', o-6, v. A. Mellor and Walke, 4-6, 6-2. Totals :-B.G.S., 32 games, I.G.S., 38 games. Early in the season, Miss Wilkinson, Head Mistress of the Girls' ;ramnmar School, asked Mr. Bousfield if he would send two boys to the Girls' School for two afternoons a.week, for the purpose of i\ving the girls some practice, in view of the approaching match v. Mavyborough Girls' Grammar School. The following boys are the lucky ones and have not missed one day yet: C. A. Powell, J. ('handler, N. H. Ellis, and J. S. Wood. The girls have shown a

By C.C.C. Since our last issue gi mrastics have been rather at a stand 11 in the School, but of course there are always a few-a very t' " indeed-who are enthusiastic and attend the Gym. regulai \. and most of these are new arrivals. Among the most promir, it are--Crawford, N. J. Sutton, Thallon, Briggi, A. Murphy, Q" t. H. Doblo, Kirkland, Brydon, and Francis. lirisbaie Grammar School Magazine. 25 A change has taken place in the committee, L. G. Brown having resigned on account of the coming Senior Exam., and D. Young has taken his place. The latter, although not quite the build of a gymnast, has wonderfully improved during the last few months. E. Amos is also working very well, and he and Young with steady practice will show what they are capable of doing. The younger boys mentioned above and several others go in to much for tricks on the rings, such as cutaways, frogs, flies, &c. These are all right for exhibition purposes, but for a competition they are not sufficient. More advanced exercises should be practised, not only on the rings, but also on the horizontal and parallel bars. A squad of a limited number will be selected from the best performers for the annual entertainment. The championship competitions at the end of the year will be interesting, especially the Lower School one.

The Library has received a good deal more patronage during the last five or six months than usual. Dickens' and Scott's books have been more read, though the majority of readers prefer Henty, Ellis, Ballantyne, &c. Longland presented " The Hill, a Tale of Harrow School."

The last Saturday evening previous to the Easter Holidays was enjoyably spent by the boarders at a musical evening given by Mr. Bousfield. Songs and recitations were kindly-contributed by Miss Darvall, and Messrs. G. Webster, E. W. H. Fowles, and Jlerrard, the entertainment was a complete success. The musical items, rendered by Mr. Webster and Miss Darvall, have impressed themselves indelibly on the minds of the boys, while Mr. Jerrard, with his comic recitations, and Mr. Fowles, who gave an altogether new version of " How Bill Adams won the Battle of Waterloo," hiave many enthusiastic, though rather unsucessful imitators in the House. Owing to the changes in the management of the House, the Easter holidays were spent by the Boarders on the shores of Bribie (lhannel instead of at the old familiar " Kamp " on Stradbroke Ibland. However, the change did not seem to afect the spirits of either the masters or boys, and the whole vacation peased off without a hitch. The fishing was fairly good, although nothing large was ,s Brisbane Grammar Scool Magasint. caught, but the shooting did not prove to be very good, although there were parrots sufficient to supply the younger members of the party with good sport. The enjoyment of the latter part of the vacation was greatly enhanced by the arrival of the " Reliance," a large sailing boat, which Mr. Bousfield very kindly hired, although the weather was somewhat boisterous, this enabled us to take several very pleasant and exciting sailing trips. At last the holiday was finished and the party struck camp, ending their pleasure trip by a sail home, which was greatly appre- ciated by the few people on board who were not seasick. Never- theless, seasickness did not prevent anyone on board from feeling sorry when the end of the journey came, and we found ourselves back once more in civilisation ready to face another few months of school.

Towards the close of last term a lantern lecture was given to the boarders by His Grace, the Archbishop of Brisbane. The subject, India," under the skilful treatment of such an able speaker as His Grace, proved very interesting to all who heard it, and the audience seemed to regret that the lecture did not continue the wh*e night. During the last visit of Wirth's circus to Brisbane, Mr. John Forrest, one of the Trustees, very generously treated the staff ot the House and the boarders toa performance The entertainment wa; highly appreciated by the boys and we hear on good authority that it was only after great persuasion that a number of smaller boys could be prevented from attempting some of the highly dan- gerous feats of the acrobats, while the popularity of Jiu-Jitsu was mcreased among us by the performance of Professor Stephensonm who was afterwards kind enough to give an exhibition at the School.

Ping pong is the established game on Saturday evenings at present, and it has now completely superseded draughts and all other games. Owing to its popularity it was decided to arrang' a tournament which took place after the Easter holidays. fThe idea was received enthusiastically bv the boys who entered in a body. Mr. and Mrs. Bousield and Messrs. Gill and Tozer ;ilso played. The games were keenly contested, and some very tin' play was witnessed. The prise, presented by Mrs. Boustield, \la' Anally won by C. A Powell and Mackenzie, who proved themsil\l" infinitely superior to all their opponenets. Tennis lhas been a very popular game in the House this se.i- 1 and it is used by the Boarders to fill up any spare time when ,' is impossble for them to get a game of football. Some of the I, ,' are becoming very proficient and this year's School team inclh It' two boarders. Brisbane Grsamar School Magasine. 27 By way of celebrating Eight Hour Day a tournament was held and proved a very pleasant way of spending the holiday. The handicapping, which was in the hands of the House Committee, did great credit to their judgment, as almost every game in the matches was hard fought. The tournament was won by Butler and A. L. Bridgman from R. D. Bridgman and Reichelmann after a well contested set. A number of boys from the House have entered for events in the Interstate Tournaments, but as yet very few of them have been drawn to play. * * * * * * * * As no other plan suggested itself for celebrating Empire Day, Mr. Bousfield kindly hired a steam launch and organized a picnic up the river for the boarders and some friends. The trip was very pleasant one and all enjoyed themselves immensely. The party disembarked at the Fifteen Mile Rocks, where the boys organized a game of football. At dusk tea was served in the open air and after it was finished all embarked once again for the home- ward voyage. On the return journey a concert, suggestive of the " dangerous ward " at Goodna was rendered by the boys en masse, which was enjoyed thoroughly by the participators in it, if by nobody else. The boat arrived at the wharf about 9 p.m. when the party returned to the school as quickly as possible, very much wearied with an extremely pleasant day's outing. * * * * * * * * The expression " where once a garden smiled " is quite as applicable to the School House garden as to the one of which Goldsmith spoke. The gardening mania expired peacefully with the Easter holidays and so far has shown no sign of reviving. How- ever, we hope to see all the garden plots occupied again as the warm weather comes on. On Saturday, the l8th August, a very pleasant magic lantern entertainment was given to the members of the School House by the Hon. Alfred Norton. The series of photographs shown were extremely interesting, depicting chiefly the more unusual forms of aniial, insect and plant life of . Some of the pictures we' e unique, especially those dealing with the animal section. As each picture was shown Mr. Norton explained it, so that the lectulre proved to b dbt only a plhasant method of spending an evening but also a very instructive lesson in natural history. At the (lose of the entertainment Mr. Bousfield thanked Mr. Norton on Iehalf of the boarders and that gentleman replied suitably. 28 Brisbane Grammar School Magasine. . e Selool SAItia Sekisty.

BY THE SECRETARY. The last meeting of the Society mentioned in the Magazim- was held on the seventeenth of March. The next debate was on the 24th of March. The subject under discussion was " Should have Freetrade or Protection.' As this was really oui maiden debate, Mr. Mowbray kindly opened in favour of Freetradt. followed by Mr. Tozer in favour of Protection. Mr. Mowbrav \wa. ably seconded by Ellis, and Mr. Tozer by J. Brown. The meeting terminated (on putting the matter to the vote) in a victory for til Protectionists by the small majority of one. The next meeting took place on the 7th of April. The subjc~t was " Is Sydney a good position for the Federal capital or not J. Brown opened in favour of Sydney and was answered by Kierna,. Brown was seconded by Wassell, and Kiernan by I.. Brown. Thl voting was in favour of the negative. On the 28th of April the subject for debate was" Should Queen- land have a University of her own ? " WValsh, seconded by Walla, opened; Ellis, seconded by Hetherington, replied. The majoriti wisely thought Queensland should have her own U'niversity. .At the next meeting, on the 12th of May, the question was " Whetht i Australia should allow Kanaka labour in the canefields ? " (thouglj this question concerns Queensland more dirctly tha the rest ,t Australia.) The debate was opened in favour of kanaka lanui by Wassell, ably seconded by Powell. L. G. Brown and A. I) Forbes were the Anti-Kanaka speakers. The voting resulted in a majority of three in favour of kanak.i labour. The subject of the next debate (June 9th) was " Is the count!\ preferable to the town to live in ? " J. M. Brown and Po\\ I spoke in favour of the country, and Wallace and Hetherington in: favour of the town. Brown and Powell successfully pwrsuadedcI i meeting that the country was the better. On August 4th, our last meeting up to date, the subject \\.- " Should capital punishment he abolished ? " Wassell oplenedl favour of abolition. Kiernan, with characteti tic cruelty Ill.i- tained that capital punishment should he continued. J. Bir\'oi supported Wassell and Bythe supported Keirnan.

Most of the members have been very consistent in turning up at all the meetings. The total number of members who have been present at one or other of the meetings is about fifteen. It is to be hoped that they will all continue as they have begun. The society has got a firm hold by now, as most of the members have got over their first nervousness. S GS.O.B..

ANNUAL DANCE. The Annual Ball of the B.G.S.O.B.A was held in the South Brisbane Technical College Hall on May 23rd and proved very en- ioyable. The decorations of the hall consisted of trophies of flags interspersed with pot plants, palms, and bird's nest ferns while garlands of greenery were festooned along the walls, and large Chinese lanterns lent a brilliant colour to the scene. The dance music was provided by Mr. W. Selke and the catering was in the hands of Mrs. Eschenhagen. the table decorations being of roses and ferns.

The Debating Society has been holding its meetings fortnighltl since the beginning of this session and continues to hold its pln.I as one of the most attractive and interesting branches of the Ass , 11 tion. The members still take a great interest in the meetings ,;nrl the debates dealing as they did with subjects of vast importanr provided splendid arguments and were well contested. The foll,- ing subjects have been debated this session to date: " Cons, '1- tion " " Should we have an Australian Navy ?" ; " That dul' n the next twenty years the State would benefit more by techlinl education than by the establishment of a Unversityv" I Modern Civilization a Failure ' " all of which as said befort ;,' frsbnem Graumer ScAu Nqe.ie. 1 viled material for very hearty debates. The intermediate evenings I ive been taken up with readings from Australian authors and poets, impromptu speeches, and a paper by Mr. H. G. Shaw on. I The Financial Clauses of the Commonwealth Government." In the readings from Australian authors and poets, the Grammar School Old Girls' Association very kindly co-operated, and a very peant evening was passed. Amonpt those authors and poets eected were Lous Beck, Brunton Stephens, H. Lawson A. L. Gordon, Kendall, and a number of other writers not so well known. At the close of the readins a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to those who took part nd it was hoped that it would not I long before another such evening should take place. The papel by Mr. H. G. Shaw proved of great interest to those preent, daling as it did with matters of such vital importance to Qees- land. A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr. Shaw tor so kindly coming to give us his paper and for all the trouble which he must have taken to collect his material. The annual dinner was held at Rowe's Cafe on the 9th June, t,. which Jo were pretent including a member from the School. rt resenting the School Debating Society, who was heartily wel- comed and must be complimented on his speech that night. The rnext debate is to be on " International Disarmament," and should provoke a great deal of discussion. There have not been many new meml er joining th s session and it is to he hope : now a Debating .ociety has started at the School that new members will not be so ditfdent about joining, and we are sure once they join they will timrive a great deal of enjoyment and instruction fronl the inter- chnge of ideas.
